All right, everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the 12 questions podcast here on the

Teardown Feed. My name is Jeff Gluck, and each week we ask the same 12 questions to a different race car

driver.

And up this week, we have someone from the dirt world.

It's Rico Abreu, and I'm very excited to have him on the podcast.

Of course, if you've been following my coverage, you know, I was just at the Knoxville

Nationals last week, where Rico Avery was one of those competing, and he made

the A-Main.

And I got to talk to him a couple days before the big event on his prelim night.

He said, hey, just come out to the trailer.

It was in the parking lot of a pizza hut, as many businesses are used for the pits, basically.

As cars get prepped all over Knoxville, you'll see t-shirt trailers and gas station parking lots and just the entire town is taken over and pretty cool so I walked out over to

the Pizza Hut got to Rico's hauler and we sat and chatted for a little bit so here is our

conversation all right everybody I'm here with Rico Abre and we are outside Knoxville

Raceway he's getting ready to race and

it's really good to see you. Thanks for doing this. Um, Rico, when you meet someone who doesn't know

who you are, do you ever lie about what you do for a living? Uh, no. I, uh, tell them I race,

race cars, uh, for a living. Um, and then try to explain a little bit the race car that I race with a, you know, it's an open wheel 900 horsepower car that races on a oval dirt track and usually show them a photo.

So I like to talk about it.

It's exciting for me and it's something I really can have a conversation about racing.

And, you know, some people don't know what sprint car racing is.

You know, they've heard of NASCAR or Andy car or Formula One.
